Resistive Ex & Tissue Healing Flashcards
What is periodization?
Systematic variation of exercise type, intensity and volume at regular intervals over a specific period of time
What does the preparation phase consist of?
Lower loads: high sets & reps
What does the competition phase consist of?
Higher loads: decreased sets & reps
What does the recovery phase consist of?
Gradual decrease in exercise load, unstructured, non-sport specific
DOMS- loss of strength peaks within ____ days
2
DOMS- pain and tenderness peaks in ____ days
1-3
DOMS- stiffness and swelling peaks _____ days
3-4
Which type of contraction produces more force under the same conditions?
Eccentric- when load is lowered contractile and non-contractile tissue need to exert force to control lowering
Concentric is just contractile CT
What type of contraction is less efficient?
Concentric- recruits greater number of motor units to exert force
What are some likely mechanisms of DOMS?
Microtrauma of muscle fibers and CT
-indicated by level of creative kinase in blood
Myofibrillar damage at the Z-bands
-affects structural integrity of muscle and may cause pain
Changes in mitochondria and membrane breakdown with an increase in WBCs & prostaglandins
-Calcium accumulates in mitochondria & cause problems with ATP
What are NOT likely mechanisms of DOMS?
Accumulation of lactic acid
Spasm-pain-spasm cycle
-no EMG activity that increases with DOMS
What is not an effective intervention for DOMS?
Cryotherapy
Electro therapy
Massage
Exercise-induced muscle soreness develops ______ after strenuous exercise when muscle fatigue is achieved. It is because of _________ & ___________.
During or right after, inadequate blood flow & O2, build-up of metabolites such as lactic acid
What is overtraining?
Decline in physical performance in a healthy individual
- fatigues more quickly
- requires more time to recover
What causes overtraining?
Inadequate rest between session, rapid progression, inadequate nutrients and fluids
